Makes sense to get risk sharing partners in this seat segment.
Boeing is probably going to go ahead with a 73NG replacement, but the small jet makers are a few years ahead of the usual suspects. The products from Boeing and Airbus need to be more than just slightly better than these jets.

But there it is again, a 90 seat turboprop. CAL sees the Dash 8-400Q as a scope threat. I wouldn't mind flying a 90 seat turboprop fwiw, but I think an EMB-190/195 with turboprop engines would be fun. But I'm kind of strange fellow or I get bored easily.

FWIW, FTB's name did not come from forgetting to bid for the next month but rather forgetting to bid for vacation. Just fwiw.

From my personal observations:That that project an entitled attitude about them in the interview process generally do not fare well.

Now, to be fair, flow throughs are full of cons for most of the seniority list of any regional pilot outside of a regional the size of CPZ. There is stagnation, squatters, inability to apply, flow downs, etc.
The upsides are there too to be fair, thus, pro's and con's.

I'm sure training is a blast, sarcasm, with that attitude.

I have not really run across any guys with that attitute - but I am sure that they are out there. I guess if they interviewed when the flow through was already in place, and at that time they met all the DAL requirements (4 year degree, flight time mins etc) they probably viewed their DCI interview as their DAL interview and thats probably fair enough.
Now with that said, a little humility and gratitude goes a long way.

If there is a pro and con to flow throughs, that ^^^^ is absolutely the #1 con for the mainline carrier and pilot group. Absolutely 100% and I thought that sitting at #1100 of 1100 when I was at Coex when it came to our flow through to CAL.
